When receiving Xie Qiongjiu's letter of greeting, Chu Huaiqing was inspecting the rest of Xuzhou.

Xuzhou is a hometown of fine wine, carpenters are not particularly popular, and there are only a few old craftsmen who have persisted and survived to this day. What's more, now that there is a war, there are basically no people who escaped or were injured. However, Liu Yi had nothing to do, so he had to find some human rights who could do some carpentry work to make up for it.

Although Liu Yi's actions seemed unreliable, they were able to support the demand for a while, but the fatal problem was soon exposed, because those people were not skilled in their workmanship, and the repaired house could not support it, causing a piece of wood to fall from the The beam of the house was loose, and it happened to hit the foot of the passing inspection team. It was only a little distance away from Chu Huaiqing's head, which would shatter and bloom.

A piece of wood as thick as an adult's arms fell against his cheek. Chu Huaiqing was quite calm for a while, and was able to calmly ask other people if they were shocked, but Liu Yi beside him obviously couldn't accept it. First, he let out a scream, It seemed that he was scared out of his wits, and then pulled him over with a disheveled expression, as if Chu Huaiqing had suddenly turned into a rare national treasure, and shouted angrily at the end, directly yelling at the person in charge of repairing the house , Regardless of the image, scolded the other party bloody.

Chu Huaiqing, who hadn't had much emotional ups and downs before, was dumbfounded, and suddenly realized that Liu Yi, who was used to jokingly called a rabbit temper by his colleagues, turned out to have such a tough side.

It really is unbelievable.

The person in charge is actually acting according to the rules, their abilities are there, and they can only do this in order to catch up with the work. At first, Liu Yi scolded him and still complained in his heart, but when he heard that he almost hit Chu Huaiqing, he was suddenly more excited than Liu Yi, staring His big eyes looked at Chu Huaiqing's head frequently. If he hadn't known the etiquette, he would have rushed over immediately, checking Chu Huaiqing from head to toe like Liu Yi did before.

First frightened by Liu Yi's transformation, and then frightened by the person in charge, Chu Huaiqing had the illusion that it was not suitable to travel today.

However, Chu Huaiqing was not miserable. What was miserable was the temporary carpenter who was scolded so red-faced that he couldn't fight back. What was even worse was that Liu Yi was still not relieved after scolding, and asked people to check other repaired houses. When I came out, I found that there were more than ten unqualified, and only a total of more than 20 were repaired. There is no doubt that Liu Yi directly exploded the pot.

A group of elders stood in a row in desperation, being scolded one by one by Liu Yi, their heads almost fell to the center of the earth in shame, to prevent the incompetent Chu Huaiqing from idly observing those substandard houses, One person pulled over.

"Why not reinforce that place?"

The man was still dizzy from being scolded, and after seeing what Huaiqing was talking about, he replied: "We also considered this place before, but the wood is not enough, and the book mentions that it doesn't matter if it is reinforced or not." impact, so there is no reinforcement."

Chu Huaiqing hummed, then turned around and looked at the unreinforced place quietly. Seeing this situation, the carpenter who felt that his behavior was correct couldn't help feeling uneasy: "Mr. Chu?"

Chu Huaiqing finally turned his eyes back and looked at the carpenter: "If you are a doctor and someone comes to see the doctor, it is exactly the same as the disease you have encountered before, but the solution written in the book is the same as that of the person who cured the disease. The solution is two extremes, then, what will you do?" The voice was not harsh, like a gentle breeze.

Understanding what Chu Huaiqing meant, the carpenter's expression changed.

Chu Huaiqing said lightly: "Books are written by people. No matter how famous they are, as long as they are people, there will be omissions."

"...Xiaomin knows his mistake."

"I'm not planning to blame you for anything." Chu Huaiqing smiled helplessly, "According to your experience in the past few days, is it necessary to reinforce this place?"

Seeing that Chu Huaiqing never scolded him like Liu Yi did, the carpenter's tense face eased a little, and he tried to observe the position, but he was inexperienced, and he couldn't make a conclusion after looking at it for a long time, na na said : "I don't know." Before Chu Huaiqing could speak, he hurriedly added, "But we can try more, and check it a few more times!"

Chu Huaiqing raised the corners of her mouth, as if approving.

The carpenter seemed to be greatly encouraged by the sound of laughter. He scratched his head embarrassingly, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Chu, for your guidance."

Although he is in an important position, the people in Xuzhou still call Chu Huaiqing Mr. Chu. One thing is that Chu Huaiqing has never put on any airs of being an official to them. One thing is that it seems that only such a name can reflect their respect for Chu Huai Qing's admiration and intimacy.

It was just now that he found out that this person had been following the person in charge, so he pulled him over and took care of him, Chu Huaiqing shook his head and smiled and said, "By the way, you said earlier that there was not enough wood, why didn't you report it to the official? "

Hearing the words, the carpenter immediately became angry, but it was not to Chu Huaiqing: "Why didn't we report it? But every time the urging officer would prevaricate in every possible way, he was already preparing his words, so let us wait patiently." , but we have waited for so many days, and we haven't even seen the shadow of sawdust!"

Chu Huaiqing frowned lightly, and it happened that Liu Yi finally turned off the fire, so he asked him, "Who is the official in charge of material reserves now?"'

Liu Yi thought for a while, and called a middle-aged man in the team over. The official didn't know what happened, and quickly saluted Chu Huaiqing: "Lord Chu."

"You don't need to be too polite." Chu Huaiqing waved his hands, "Let me ask you, how is the preparation of the wood that the carpenters want?"

The official said: "It's already in preparation, but it hasn't been raised yet."

With Chu Huaiqing on the side, the carpenter was finally able not to suppress the anger he had been waiting for for the past few days, and interjected, "What is there to prepare after more than ten days? After such a long time, even if you send someone to The logging outside the city has already finished cutting a large area! It is clear that you embezzled the money for yourself and never did it!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

If Chu Huaiqing took office as a new official, the first thing to do was to deal with the responsibility of bribery. I don’t know how many people were caught in the net. Waiting for his explanation calmly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The officer in charge replied: "Master Chu, the villain is indeed ready to handle this matter. A few days ago, the villain saw that there was a shortage of manpower, so he sent people to other counties to purchase, but the purchasing team was hijacked on the way. However, most of the money was lost, so in desperation, the villain had no choice but to find more than a dozen strong men and let them cut trees outside the city, but they never came back, how can the villain do business?"

Looking closely at the bitterness on the official's face, Chu Huaiqing asked again, "How long have they been there?"

"It's almost three days now."

There was a stern look on Chu Huaiqing's brows: "The suburban forest is only half a day away from us, and now it's three days away. Have you ever sent someone to ask?"

The official in charge was stunned for a moment, his lips twitched, and his voice dropped immediately, not daring to look directly into Chu Huaiqing's eyes: "I was busy a few days ago, I planned to ask today..."

Chu Huaiqing just looked at him inexplicably, but the officer in charge couldn't even make up this clumsy lie, and blushed in shame.

Sighing slightly, not being too lazy to reprimand this person anymore, Chu Huaiqing shook his head, and ordered: "Liu Yi, you immediately summon a group of soldiers and let them go out of the city to have a look. There has been no news for so long. I am afraid that something happened to those people. thing."

"Yes."

After settling this matter, Chu Huaiqing originally wanted to continue walking through these streets to check if there were any other omissions and mistakes. It was probably God's pity that he hadn't had a good rest for half a month. The poor wine asked An Xin, the first sentence was to ask Chu Huaiqing if he had worked too hard these days.

Chu Huaiqing's heart warmed when he saw it, and because of Xie Qiongjiu's firm words and tireless persuasion, he didn't cry or laugh for a while, but he still listened to what he said, and it was rare to use the words of a superior The privilege, let Liu Yi continue to inspect on his behalf.

Liu Yi took the job willingly, but he was worried that Chu Huaiqing would go back alone, so Chu Huaiqing had no choice but to accept a temporary bodyguard and three soldiers arranged by Liu Yi for him. Go back to Fuchu.

There were not many passers-by on the street, and Chu Huaiqing was holding the letter in his hand. Just as he was about to open it and continue reading, he suddenly stopped and looked behind him.

The four escorts also stopped and didn't notice anything unusual. The guard asked suspiciously, "Mr. Chu?"

"No problem." Chu Huaiqing frowned, and folded the letter, "Maybe I'm too sensitive." He put it back in his sleeve.

Not encountering any situation along the way, Chu Huaiqing really took the sight he noticed earlier as his nervous breakdown from exhaustion, so he chose to sit in a quiet garden, poured a cup of tea, sat on the wicker chair, and The unread letter was taken out.

The condolences are not long, and most of them are business matters. Seeing the news of his parents being saved, Chu Huaiqing was overjoyed and relieved, but at the end, he saw Xie Qiongjiu reminding him to be more careful in recent days.

Xie Qiongjiu believes that although his rescue of the Duke of Chu was unexpected, but with the existence of Gongsun Ji, it is unlikely that there will be no twists and turns. I am afraid that there may be fraud in it, and there is no mistake in the multi-party plan, so I will find Lu Chuanfeng again. After a long time, there was only one letter, telling him to be careful around.

Chu Huaiqing closed the letter and seemed to be in deep thought. From the corner of her gaze, she saw a bush of flowers not far away that moved without wind, and immediately shouted: "Who is it!"

No one responded, but the scene was terribly silent for a moment.

After waiting for a long time, she couldn't help but frowned. Chu Huaiqing walked towards that place. After walking a few steps, an attendant shouted from the side opposite to the flowers: "Mr. Chu, someone is looking for you."

Chu Huaiqing stopped, looked at the rockery next to the flowers for a while, then turned around and said, "I see, please invite him in first."

The attendant left in response, Chu Huaiqing paused, and finally walked to the side of the flower bushes, but there was no sign of the unknown person, whether it was the nearby trees or the rockery.

Is it really a relationship of being too tired?

Rubbing her forehead, Chu Huaiqing turned and left, but she didn't find that in the depths covered by the grass, there was a mark that had been trampled not long ago.
